Pelle’s Thoughts

You know: being a teddy bear isn’t always easy. There are a lot of high expectations when it comes to being a stuffed animal. I am expected to comfort when times are tough for my human family. I am expected to give advice when decisions need to be made. I am expected to listen to problems.  I am expected to keep my mouth shut when humans need to concentrate and ponder. I am expected to snuggle and hug. I am expected to travel with my family, whatever crazy trip this may be. I am expected to encourage and support. I am expected to make my families’ needs first priority. On the other hand I am as much dependent on them as they depend on me. I am dependent on their love. I am dependent on their care. I depend on them looking after me. Their care enables me to do what I am supposed to. I am like a little baby bird that depends on their parents to feed it and teach it how to fly. Little birds can only grow and fly on their own if their parents take good care of them in the first place.

It is the same with South Lyon Power & Light. There are high expectations in terms of growth and success. But like a baby bird, South Lyon Power & Light can only grow and learn how to fly if there is love, support and care from the parent. You can’t just kick a bird out of the nest right after it hatched from the egg. If you do that it’ll die.  It needs to be fed. It needs love, and it needs support. Then it will grow, and finally fly out into the world.

If South Lyon Power & Light is meant to grow, to be successful and to be out in the world spreading God’s love, then this mission needs to be fed, supported and loved.

Yours Pelle
